Thank you. The GOP needs to be better but the GOP Congress was a LOT better than we realize.
You're most welcome! And yes, when looking at the raw numbers -- without all the emotional hysteria of politics -- the Republican Congress doesn't do a bad job at all.
Also, when Bush gave the 2003 tax cuts, the federal revenue was only $1.7 trillion/yr. By 2006, after those cuts, federal revenue had jumped to $2.4 trillion, almost $2.5 trillion. We now bring in about $2.6 trillion and it's dropping down to $2.4 trillion.
